Fundamentals of Music is a class designed not only for non-music majors and music majors, but also for the community at large. For those who would like to learn to read music and learn the basic musical language, this is the class to meet those needs.

Some students have spent their life playing by ear, but feel that something is inherently missing, and that is the ability to have all music at their fingertips. This class will help fill those musical gaps.

Many music business and music technology majors are attracted to those fields of study without any prior music knowledge. Fundamentals of Music will help prepare these prospective majors prior to their first year of Basic Theory. For them, Fundamentals of Music is a necessity.

The credits of this course do not count as humanities credits for a general degree and are not transferable.

The first thing that you should do once you have your material from the Bookstore is to open the CD-ROM case. Do know that once it has been opened, it cannot be returned.

Follow the instructions for setting up the CD-ROM found within the case of the OnMusic Fundamentals CD-ROM and on the “Important Information and Download Center” screen that will appear. Make sure that you follow ALL instructions and set up everything that you need to before starting this course. If you fail to do one or more set-ups, your access to the course material will be impeded.

When setting up the course, be sure to use your email address of New River Community College to communicate. I will use no other, so make sure that you enter your New River Community College email address when you set-up the course.
